According to analysts, future drones on enemy objects can fail even more enterprises. The volume of processed barrels continues to decline, as statistics have shown. The weekly treatment of oil in Russia has decreased to a 11-month minimum, but it has yet been slightly affected by the total volume. This is stated in the report of the American Institute for War Study (ISW). According to analysts, as of mid -April, the enemy managed to process 5. 22 million barrels of crude oil a day.

This is 10,000 barrels less than it was recorded at the beginning of the month, which was written by Bloomberg. It is also emphasized that Russia has processed 1. 23 million barrels a day from January at those oil refineries, which were struck by drones. This is 280 thousand barrels less than before shelling. As a result, at least 14% of all Russian capacities were stopped as of April 2. Separately, the ISW is added that not only drones affect the enemy's capacity.

The flood in the Orenburg region forced the Orsk oil refinery to turn off on April 7, but already on the 23nd it resumed its full work. "Reduction of Russian oil refining capacities probably forced Russia to import gasoline from Kazakhstan and Belarus in early April to solve the problem of lack They affect the cost of fuel in the international market, " - the message reads.

Officials of the Russian Federation after various incidents stated that reducing primary oil processing can lead to an increase in exports of crude oil products. Moscow will not be able to process into the same volumes as it was to attacks and floods. Future UAV strikes can fail and disrupt the work of even more enemy oil refining. This will impose restrictions on products processing.

"However, the strikes of Ukrainian drones have not yet had a significant impact on Russian oil refining, as well as on domestic and international supplies of crude oil and distillate products," - summed up in ISW. We will remind, on April 19 it was reported that in Russia trying to protect oil refineries from attacks by nets. According to the head of Bashkirria Radiy Habirov, it was decided to find a way to save important objects from attacks by drones.
